Lack of knowledge does not remove responsibility. The current edition is always published on this page.
General rules
- 1.1
These rules apply to the GRI RUST project game servers, website, official Discord and other project platforms.
- 1.2
Players must follow the current published edition. The principles are fair competition, respect and stable server operation.
Cheats and unfair advantage
- 2.1
Cheats, ESP, recoil modifications, scripts, macros and software that automates play or provides an unfair advantage are prohibited.
- 2.2
Anti-cheat bypass, client tampering, concealment of prohibited software and assistance in testing cheats on the servers are prohibited.
- 2.3
Knowingly playing together with a violator or benefiting from the violation may be treated as participation. Examples include continuing coordinated raids after credible notice of a teammate’s cheats, guarding or moving loot known to have been obtained with cheats, or helping the violator evade a check. The list is not exhaustive; evidence that the player understood the situation is required.
- 2.4
Any binding anti-cheat verification procedure must be published at https://grirust.ru/rules before it is used. Until such a procedure appears there, refusal alone is not an independent ground for a sanction; other admissible evidence may still be considered.
Bugs and exploits
- 3.1
Do not exploit game, map, plugin, store or website defects for duplication, unauthorized access or any other benefit.
- 3.2
Report a critical defect privately to contact@grirust.ru without publishing the exploitation method. Illegitimate items or benefits may be removed.
Gameplay
- 4.1
PvP, raids, ambushes, deception within game mechanics and competition for resources are normal Rust gameplay unless a published restriction states otherwise.
- 4.2
Actions whose sole purpose is prolonged disruption, excessive server load or blocking access are prohibited. Examples include mass object creation or repeated commands only to cause load, or permanently blocking a spawn point without a gameplay purpose. Normal building, raiding, defense and territorial competition are not violations by themselves; purpose, duration and impact are considered.
- 4.3
Temporary team, building or event restrictions are published at https://grirust.ru/rules, https://grirust.ru/news or the official Discord https://discord.gg/5z3hjAfd6. The announcement must state the restriction and its effective period.
Communication
- 5.1
Real threats, harassment, stalking, doxxing, discriminatory abuse, mass spam, deliberate voice-channel disruption and impersonation of administration are prohibited.
- 5.2
Systematic provocation may include repeated targeted insults or deliberately reigniting the same conflict after a warning. A single dispute or ordinary in-game taunt is not necessarily systematic; repetition, content and context are considered.
Accounts
- 6.1
The Steam account owner is responsible for actions performed through the account.
- 6.2
Ban evasion, misleading administration-like names and prohibited advertising are forbidden. Administration never requests a Steam password, Steam Guard code or payment details in game chat.
Store
- 7.1
External real-money trading, fraud and advertising third-party marketplaces are prohibited. A purchase does not grant immunity from the rules.
- 7.2
Report delivery errors to contact@grirust.ru with the order number and SteamID64. Never send account secrets.
Administration
- 8.1
Instructions to stop a violation or protect server stability must be followed. Verification is binding only under a procedure published as stated in rule 2.4.
- 8.2
Threats, bribery, fabricated evidence and disclosure of confidential verification materials are prohibited. Security methods, internal logs and other users’ data may remain confidential.
Measures
- 9.1
Depending on severity, repetition and circumstances, measures may include a warning, chat restriction, removal of an illegitimate result, kick, temporary ban or permanent ban.
- 9.2
An attempt may be treated like a completed violation where it created a real threat. Urgent access restriction may be used while a serious incident is reviewed.
- 9.3
There is currently no fixed penalty table. Severity, repetition, impact, circumstances and available evidence are considered.
Complaints and appeals
- 10.1
The official channel is contact@grirust.ru. Include SteamID64, approximate Moscow time, game server, description and available evidence.
- 10.2
Submit one request per incident. Spam, threats or fabricated evidence may lead to closure and a separate sanction.
- 10.3
An appeal does not automatically suspend a restriction. The decision and applicable rules edition are recorded, and significant changes are published on this page.
